We have been going to Dr. Cho since I was a very little girl (roughly 30 years) and he is an excellent vet. He is a little rough around the edges -- he comes in, does not say too much, checks out the pet and leaves the room. So, if you need someone to hold your hand a little bit and coddle you, this may not be the right vet for you. That being said -- when I lived in Rancho Santa Margarita, I still drove all the way across the county to bring my pets to him...why? Because his care to our many cats and dogs has been second to none! We have had animals go through cancer and complicated surgeries and he always mends them up and sends them home well (if possible). The receptionists are always caring and you can always call them up to ask them your pet questions. I recommended him to 2 new neighbors and one said her family had gone to him for years as well and other said she'd been recommended to him by a co-worker as well. Go to Dr. Cho & tell him the Mullligans say hi! :)
